Thursday
S: pouch of baby food (spinach/pear/mango) after surgery
B: bacon, eggs topped with salsa, tea
L: chicken apple sausages, apple with almond butter
D: thai pumpkin curry over steamed veggies, peach & raspberries

I have been starving. Don't know why, but weight was at the low end today, so hence, the waffles.
L: ham and low fat cheddar on a corn tortilla, cole slaw, an apple
18 mile ride
S: a few whole wheat pita rounds and cheese
D: went out to a local "fine dining" restaurant. We don't go to this place more than 2-3X a year, but we should go more. Had a bottle of red wine, cherry soup (delicious and no cream), and rack of lamb, but only 2 ribs of the lamb, the rest ground up and put in an empanada, with farm fresh squash. We split an ice cream sandwich dessert.
Got to ride a lot this weekend!
Yesterday: Rest day
Kitchen was almost bare...
B: 2 egg whites + 1 whole egg sandwich on Ezekial bread, skim, coffee
S: banana
L: egg white wrap on whole wheat tortilla and skim milk - I refuse to grocery shop on an empty stomach :o
S: 2 tablespoons Blue Bell Southern Blackberry Cobbler ice cream
D: homemade spinach pasta salad with LOTS of baby spinach, small amount of whole wheat organic penne pasta, tomatoes, garlic, red onion, Greek dressing, smoked anoduille chicken sausage, 1 Fat Tire beer
Cherry soup? Interesting idea! I had to resist the lovely cherries at the store. Good price per pound but they were in 5 pound bags - a bit much for one person.
Friday
B: bacon, eggs w/ veggies, black coffee
L: guacamole w/ raw veggies, peach
D: salad from Chipotle (lettuce, guacamole, carnitas, pico, salsa)

1hour 15 minute hard workout (it was for "fun" and was just wild). Apparently my hip flexor is happy with anything outside of running - not the slightest twinge otherwise :) Resisted the desire to take the equally hard advanced Bosu class afterwards...I doubt I really had the energy anyway - it was pretty intense.
S: small Muscle Milk drink
L: A bit of watermelon and a wrap that uses seasoned lamb/beef with a few tomatoes and tahini sauce - yummy! This was at a local middle eastern festival.
S: a bit less than 1/2 cup Blue Bell ice cream
D: sauteed cho fun? (looks like a small bok choy but a bit peppery, and I probably have the name wrong), with brown rice and chicken breast. Skim milk. One beer shortly

L: veggie wrap (whole wheat) during 16.5 mile ride.

Hey Catrin don't know much about your store, but I just repackage the cherries into a smaller bag and then only pay for the poundage.Quote:

(I maybe had 15 cherries in the last batch I made, so I didn't even bother to pit them and just fished the pits out as the fruits fell apart.) Instant sauce for ice cream or frozen yogurt. I imagine it would be good on Greek yogurt with some toasted almonds, but I haven't tried it yet.Quote:

Yeah, I've had problems fitting veggies in recently for some reason - I HAVE them, just don't want to cook for some reason...

Yum.Quote:

At the market one day, I bought some beautifully ripe tomotoes and a loaf of challah bread. The only thing I remember adding to it was a bit of spicy brown mustard. It was one of the best, most sublime, sandwiches ever.

small dish of ice cream
I suspect I'll have the same question about plums in another week or so once our tree 'explodes'!Quote:
